Not Quite the Moonlight Ramble
Thom Fletcher, he who almost convinced me there was a zebra park in Alton where the children don hay-beards to be nibbled off by baby zebras, informed me today that there will be a naked bike ride in Tower Grove Park next weekend. Naturally, I was a bit skeptical, but it's true! The World St. Louis Naked Bike Ride, organized to protest oil depenency while promoting body acceptance, is part of a worldwide movement; CAMP's screening a doc on the subject tonight at 9pm. Though I salute both causes, I can tell you right now that I'm probably too Utah-ish to attend such a thing, though Mr. Fletcher suggested shaving a cat and sending it in my stead. Of course, teaching a cat to ride a bicycle (and it can be done - I've seen exactly that at the Circus Circus Casino floor show in Vegas!) is probably easier than shaving it, unless you relish the idea of losing an eye.
